| <title>Configuring The Parser/Indexer</title> |
| </head> |

| |
| <h1>Configuring The Parser/Indexer</h1> |
| |
| <p> |
| The C/C++ indexer uses the parser to create a database of your |
| source and header files that provides the basis for C/C++ search, |
| navigation features and parts of content assist. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| The parser must be configured properly for it to find header files, otherwise |
| the code analysis features of RDT may not have sufficient information available, |
| and will not provide a complete analysis. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| Additionally it may be necessary to provide the parser with additional information |
| on symbols (preprocessor macros) so that the preprocessing phase of the parser |
| is correct. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p><b>Configuring the Parser</b></p> |
| <p> |
| Tasks for configuring the parser: |
| <ul> |
| <li><a href="../reference/remote_properties_paths.html">Setting up remote include paths</a></li> |
| <li><a href="../reference/remote_properties_symbols.html">Setting up symbols</a></li> |
| </ul> |
| </p> |
| |
| <p><b>Configuring the Indexer</b></p> |
| |
| <p> |
| The indexer used for C/C++ projects may be configured using the |
| <b>C/C++ General > Indexer</b> properties page. |
| For RDT Remote C/C++ projects the <b>RDT Remote Fast Indexer</b> must be selected, |
| otherwise RDT will not be able to communicate with the remote index and |
| none of the code analysis features of RDT will work correctly. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| The indexer properties page has sections for specifying that references |
| should be skipped and for specifying that certain files should be parsed |
| up front. Currently RDT does not support these properties, and changing |
| them has no effect. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p><b>Editor Warnings</b><p> |
| |
| <p> |
| There is a known issue with RDT where sometimes the remote editor displays |
| false warnings about syntax errors or invalid include directives. To disable |
| editor warnings do the following: |
| <ol> |
| <li>Use the workbench menu to open the Preferences dialog, <b>Window > Preferences.</b></li> |
| <li>Navigate to the Annotations preference page, <b>General > Editors > Text Editors > Annotations</b>.</li> |
| <li>Select <b>C/C++ Indexer Markers.</b></li> |
| <li>Uncheck all the checkboxes.</li> |
| <li>Click <b>Apply</b>.</li> |
| </ol> |
